Restaurant Week Sample Menus
Boardwalk Bistro: Mediterranean with Seasonal Flair
This popular bistro plans to really step up to the plate during Restaurant Week! The lunch and dinner options come with wine suggestions (for an extra charge). Seasonal, local ingredients will add robust flavors to the sumptuous Cobb Salad at lunch. For dinner, you’ll really want a glass of wine with the flame-grilled filet mignon, with a balsamic demi-glace and Mediterranean eggplant relish.
La Gloria: Authentic Mexican Flavors, Relaxed Ambiance
Johnny Hernandez’s restaurant at the Pearl Brewery anticipates offering savory crab salpicon tostadas, burrito de pollo en mole amarillo (chicken in a yellow mole sauce) and a tropical flourish at the end: mango ice cream. Dinner begins with fresh tuna ceviche, followed by beef steak in chipotle sauce, grilled shrimp, and mushroom quesadillas as choices. Wrap it up sweetly with pastele de elote con piña, or sweet corn cake with pineapple.
The Lodge Restaurant of Castle Hills: Festival of Eclectic Flavor
Dine in a historic mansion set among sprawling live oaks. Taste chef and owner Jason Dady’s wide-ranging offerings, such as forbidden rice-crusted Hawaiian wahoo with Yukon mousseline, or grilled Texas quail with baby arugula and caramelized onion purée. Save an appetite for the Nutella torte with house-made caramel, peanut-butter mousse and hazelnut nougat.
Lüke San Antonio: Local and Sumptuous Texas Dining
Chef Steven McHugh gives a culinary nod to San Antonio’s German heritage with his lunch menu featuring hearty Jaeger Schnitzel with heirloom tomatoes. At dinner, a vibrant salad of local greens, candied beets and blue cheese precedes heritage Texas pork, slow-cooked and served over panisse and fava beans. The happy ending is orange-basil semifreddo and local stone fruits.
Oro at the Emily Morgan Hotel: Great Food a Stone’s Throw Away from the Alamo
Chris Cook, executive chef and food and beverage manager, has a long title. But his plan for Restaurant Week is short and simple: Good food and a few surprises. The chorizo corn dogs with jícama slaw on the lunch menu will certainly wake up the taste buds, while dessert also beckons – that’s Tahitian vanilla bean-cherry crème brülée with snickerdoodle cookies and seasonal berries. Save us some!
Paesano’s Riverwalk and Paesano’s 1604: Italian Style, Traditional Satisfaction
From the Southwest to sunny Italy, the flavors here sing of garlic and butter sauce, tender pasta and creamy, espresso-scented tiramisu. Taste Paesano’s famed Shrimp Paesano, Caesar salad, and either stuffed pasta shells or a parmesan-crusted chicken. It’s all good.
Tōst Café Francais: Texas says “Si” to Casual French Dining
The gazpacho has a Southwest twang, but the second course at lunch takes a bow from the south of France with tender lobster cakes and fragrant saffron aioli. On the four-course dinner menu, your challenge will be to decide between entrées of pan-seared striped bass on lemon-basil crab risotto or braised lamb shank Provenϛal.
Zinc Bistro & Wine Bar: Sleek, Savory and Sophisticated
Dine downtown in stylish Zinc, where chef-prepared soups and elegant entrées will seduce your palate. Coffee-crusted beef filet is offered on the lunch menu, with a chocolate coconut silk pie adding richness at dessert. Braised beef short ribs with Hatch green chile demi-glace on a bed of creamy polenta will more than satisfy at dinner. Need we also mention the well-stocked wine and drink list?
